Love Like No Other
I adore my husband. We've been together 25 years but truth be told I didn't know love in the deep, complete, overwhelming, crazy, passionate, selfless way that love can truly be until 18 years ago…when my oldest son was born. I knew my life would change, but I never...
Relief
Four incisions and a week later and port #5 is healing beautifully :)"Christian" developed a clot that has essentially become part of his body. The surgeons tried to break it up and it just won't budge. Because of this issue the port had to be...
Holding it Together
Holding it together is exhausting. Today my little boy had surgery and I had not "felt" anything. I knew this port placement was necessary, everything was in place, and we were moving forward. I had been moving on instinct and logic and my heart had not taken...
#5 Coming Soon
I had trouble accessing "Christian's" port last week (while his Dad was out of town). What started as needing help accessing turned into a dye study to check placement and we learned that the port had coiled and developed a clot. I am glad it worked out...
A Little Tired…..
It's been a busy couple of weeks. My husband is out of town starting his doctorate work, my little guy has been at Adaptive Sports Camp and my oldest is in summer school and I had the privilege to preach at my home church today on Pentecost Sunday. And tomorrow I will...
May 27, 1962
What was this day like for my parents, 52 years ago? Their first son, so small and sick in a rural, Texas town. Did my mom hold him as he breathed his last breath or did a doctor come in the room to give her the devastating news? Was anyone with her or did she have...
Happy Birthday
May 22, 1962 I don't know what life would have been like if my brother had lived.Would he have been annoyed with a little sister following him wherever he went? I like to think he could have whipped up a mean peanut butter sandwich and taken me out...
Blessed and amazed
Sometimes I am amazed at where I am. I am "supposed" to be teaching middle school band and living in the suburbs of the big city...with my goal to be retiring from teaching. But God had something else in mind for me and I am so glad I listened. Last week I found...
Paper Plates
My husband asked me what I wanted to do for Mother's Day. "Come home after church, eat at home, and maybe do a few things around the house," was my answer. I am preparing to be out of town for business for a few days so spending the day at home sounded great. And it...
A Little Sign
I've been a little distracted this week. I hadn't realized it until two different friends commented that they knew I wasn't quite right. And it finally hit me...Mother's Day. I was at a friend's house for dinner this past week and as I was helping clean the kitchen I...
